Ben and his Labrador, Ned, castaways from the legendary ghost ship Flying Dutchman, swore never go to sea again-but a mishap in South America lands them aboard a French pirate ship with not one, but two villainous sea captains in pursuit. To make matters worse, Ben is still haunted by visions of Captain Vanderdecken, whose ghost seeks vengeance on the former cabin boy. And that is only the beginning of their adventures!

I love this book not just because its written by one of my favorite authors but because this book has lots of adventure and sea voyages. This book has 2 main characters in it, a boy named Ben and his dog Ned. Ben and his dog were abducted by a ghost ship after a ship wreck at sea. After a week or so on board the flying Dutchman, an angel came down from heaven and cast them overboard but put a spell on them. The spell was that Ben and Ned could talk to each other in their minds, and Ben can speak all languages and live for ever at the same age. Now I leave the rest for you to find out and I hope you enjoy it.
